Was curious as to what southpaw people thought had the best jab.? I know Whitaker/Wright both have great jabs but was there ever a southpaw who had a jab as powerful/fast as say a Thomas Hearns?
I always thought a young Mike Moorers jab was awesome when he was at light heavyweight.......... He was a converted orthadox fighter, his jab was like a sledgehammer......
Same deal with Hagler. Naturally right handed which meant his lead right was his best weapon (jab, hook, uppercut). Very underrated jab.
I've read that Whitaker is right handed. Interestingly; two of the aforementioned fighters in this thread, Hagler and Moorer, were also right handed. I rate Oscar de la Hoya lower than a lot of people, but his jabs is one of the best I've ever seen. Oscar is left handed fighting as a righty.
Moore's jab was unbelievable. He was literally batting Foreman backwards and side to side with it, like someone was unloading on him with straight rights.
